Trout fishing is thought of as a fun yet relaxing past time. If frying in the hot summer sun isn't your idea of relaxing, then spring trout fishing could be best for you. The crisp spring air, light breeze, vibrant colors, and fresh waters of spring can make for an enjoyable outing. Of course, no trout fishing trip is a complete success with out the main attraction...the TROUT! As with any trout fishing outing, you must be prepared the fishing conditions. There are lures and techniques developed specifically for spring trout fishing.
After a good loooong sleep, also known as hibernation, trout move at a much slower pace. They are usually trudging along the bottom of the water. Keep these facts in mind when choosing your lures. Because the trout are staying low, you want a lure with enough weight to reach the trout, but not so heavy that it will get stuck. You also want to be sure the weight of the lure isn't so light that it will float right over the trout's head. If trout don't see the bait, they surely won't bite at it. Finding the right lure in each season can be a huge challenge. It is common for experienced anglers to bring several types of lures in one outing. A couple different types of spinners are good choice to try in spring!
Spinners are a type of synthetic lure that are made to imitate small bait fish. Though they mimic the movements of tiny fish, they rarely resemble the fish they are designed to mimic. One type of spinner is a called a spoon. This spinner resembles the end of a spoon and wobbles as it is being pulled in. Spoons can be purchased in an array of shapes, sizes, and weights. A spoon that is no longer than one inch, compact, and heavy in weight, is best used in the beginning of spring.
Whether or not the spoon will really be successful for you depends on what the trout are feeding on in an area. If there are no bait fish in the area that the trout normally feed on, then the trout might not hit it. Other good choices to try in the spring are the willie gunn tube, ally's shrimp, or the tosh (2-3"). When choosing lures, not only do you want to consider what habitat the season has created, but also the type of trout you are targeting!
